eJournals

So why use eJournals? Journals contain academic research which is not found in textbooks. Information is published on a monthly or weekly basis and consists of breakthroughs and reports on current research.

Subject Databases for Physics

Why use these as opposed to google or other search engines? Subject databases index current scholarly research on various topics published in thousands of academic journals and are the ideal way to find out what’s new in your subject. You may need to use several to locate the information you need as no single database indexes every journal publication.

NB The ACM Digital Library core subscription contains the full-text of the ACM Journals and Transactions, but NOT the Conference Proceedings. See the Back Up Resources section below for full-text options.

To access the DIT databases from outside the DIT network see the Off Campus Access link for more information.

Check with your School of Physics course co-ordinator as to the appropriate style and version for your work.

Use the following citation style guides as necessary, but remember to pick one citation method and use it consistently:
